So! I have been running into some problems with this map, it is crashing when it tries to load.
It is pretty much complete except for some weapon/item/spawnpoint placement.
Bottom line I am leaving for navy basic training in 2 days and i just dont have time to finish this. SO!!! I am going to just upload the .gob file as well as the .jkl and the master .tpl files. If anyone feels like trying to fix it that would be awesome otherwise feel free to scavenge whatever off this map or even use parts/all of it for your own map! just maybe give me a lil blurb in some credits or something. :)
It's Almost done!!! after I really have no idea how long i have been working on this thing, it is about 95% finished! i am really going to try and have it done this week!
Starting to figure out how to make nifty models and texture them with blender then import them into JK
Ok, i finally finished and uploaded the second part of the texture creating tutorial. this half deals mainly with the program Gimp, and adding highlights/scratches/colors to the texture rather than the structural part I went over in the first video with Blender.
So I had a few people ask if i could try and put together a tutorial on how i am putting together the textures i have been doing. so.... here is my first attempt. It covers the first portion of texture making, which is creating a "high poly" sculpt/model in Blender. It is really NOT as intimidating as it sounds. I am going to try and do the second half this week, which will cover working on the texture in Gimp.
went ahead an made a new elevator control panel, because i thought the default JK ones would look a little out of place.
It's based on the 00t_7.mat from JK
So i actually started working on textures again! Beginning to figure out how to do hard surface textures.
Finally have a bit more to show on this level. Still a little ways from being completed but its getting there! Next up is making a few more textures and 3do's to make it a little less monotonous...
Soooo... kind of figured i should seperate the "textures" project from the level that i am making with them.
Finished the door, made a light texture and a nifty 3do, and a floor texture!
I am endeavoring to create from scratch custom textures YET again!
After spending WAY too much time on them i have the first three finished. They are a basic green rather clean metal wall, a tileing trim of mostly the same color... and a nifty wall vent thingy!
Just a reminder! TODAY is the deadline for the massassi SP level contest. So far there have only been TWO(2) entries! we need at least four in order for the contest to proceed. :)
As of NOW there is a little over 5 hours left to submit!!!! Zero.... Ogel :)
Am now 100% finished with architecture and texturing. Just need to finish with lighting and cog's.
ALMOST done with the second set of textures. These ones have a much more Nar Shaddaa feel to them
Still Trucking along on this one! hope to have it finished in a few weeks!
New level! again! lol.
This one is about 80% finished already. i found if i dont showcase a level till its mostly done its more likely to be finished.
So yesterday i was browsing the web for textures and i found this site: http://www.philipk.net
there are some amazing texture sets there for download and i emailed the owner asking if we can use them here for custom levels. he said yes :)
bringing this one back... will probably end up using it as my entry for the Massassi contest.
Just wanted to make something that is a bit of a departure from what usually do...
just some odds and ends that i don't really have any plans for and don't particularly fit into any levels im currently working on...
if you feel like trying to make something with it HAVE AT IT! :)
So i finally finished tying up loose end on this level and IT IS DONE!
just uploaded the final version to the hub so feel free to download and play it... or not, lol either way.
will be spending more time now one the second level in this series!
Ok! so i am doing another open beta because my email is more dysfunctional than a depressed lima bean... and thats pretty bad!
so... yes. anyone interested in testing this thingamajig, its available in the download section! just leave me a message in the forum and let me know what you think is good, or needs to be fixed!
the outside area for the second level is finished! yay!!!
...now i just need to do the ENTIRE rest of it *HERP!*
well, the hub seemed to be slowing down a bit in the past week, so i thought i would spice it up a little! with, some stuff...
Ok! i finally finished this monstrosity! im uploading it into the downloads section as a beta version for anyone who would like to beta test it for me! *coughStewie,Dan,and,ZeroRavencough*
if you do, please just let me know any bugs you find. or what you think it needs/could do without!
almost done with this single player level! does anyone have any advice on making cinematics/cutscenes???
also may need volunteers to beta test it soon!
AHHA!!! Im surprising everyone (mainly myself) with a nearly complete level that i waited till now to showcase!
Will likely be finished in a week or two...
completely redoing the imperial space station... want to make it a lot smaller and a little older feeling.
also using 100% made from scratch* new textures!!!
*made from stock photos.
Just a few more things i have added so far. not sure if they will be permanent yet...
the sith temple that is going to be included... NOW ENTIRELY IN DFLT!!!!
Something imperial this way comes!!!
beginnings of an imperial space station that will hopefully tie in with the small city level ive been working on!
started working on the obligatory cantina... no spaceport style level should be without one!
been editing a bit more. level is now up to 99 sectors. i am hoping i dont go over the visible adjion limit but well see...
mostly tweaking stuff ive already finished, changed the door MAT's and added a bit more lighting an such.
finally got JK to run on my computer! and so i started editing again... just trying to get the hang of ZED again. think its going ok.
my entry for the new level contest at massassi. still VERY early in development
starting work on the sewers for ord mantell, through which you will have to travel to escape the black sun... and some other antagonists as well.
alrighty, got another set of 10 up today... this one actually includes a floor texture too!
well, i have the first set of nine textues all zipped and ready for download! they are already in .mat format so they are ready to plug and play.
will be available soon for use by anyone who cares to use them.
all textures are tileable(sp?)
i am hoping to make some textures usable in a grungy nar-shadda type level.
i will have actual downloadable MAT's available soon.
well, my internet was down for 32 days but i finally got back online. i posted some new shots and whatnot.
well, i have begun editing this project again! it will probably be SLOW process... but, at least its something.
i uploaded 2 new screenies for your viewing pleasure...
hey! just wanted to say im back again and reviving this project. my computer took a dump in me and i lost EVERYTHING! but i am starting over. so keep an eye out for periodic updates!
ok! well, my project now as a new name. hopefully.
i would like to extend an extra special thanks to:
Descent_pilot,
JAS_Palidori,
and, SM Sith Lord,
for the help with coming up with a new title :)
oh and heres a new screenie:
OK! so the name dark tide has already been taken! if anyone has suggestions for a new name for my project please drop me a line in the forum!
My latest attempt at making a single player level with a strong story line.
it is set mostly n the planet of ord mantell.
started work on a subway car. if you jump on the tracks it will smash you to bits...
ive found it very hard to find good industrial/grimey textures. so im workin on making my own, using stock photos from: http://www.cgtextures.com/
well the project is slowly creeping forward. but its not dead, not by a long shot!
woohoo! grismath and i are going to team up on this one. hopefully it will turn out well... and heres a new screen shot.
this is going to be a single player level based in Nar Shaddaa. so far all i have finished is part of the cantina.
well, i have all the archi and texturing finished, all that is left is to finish the item placement (75% finished) and tweak the lighting some more...
just experimenting with some neat textures.
still working on the nightshade level also if anyone was wondering.
level archi is probably bout 70% finished.
all lighting is still temporary though
alright! I got two screens up. the level is still in its very early stages so there isnt a whole lot to it yet.
well, this is my first project on the jk hub. i will hopefully have a few screenshots up soon.
